Ask what Korea is talking about.

President Lee Jae Myung said Monday that South Korea is unlikely to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) during his term, but stressed the need to lay the groundwork despite the challenges, Yonhap reports. He called CPTPP entry "unavoidable" in the long term, according to Yonhap, and acknowledged farmers' and fishermen's concerns, vowing to prevent unfair damage, as Korea Times and Yonhap report. KBS World quotes Lee saying it would be difficult for the government not to pursue membership in the long run.
